“In 1926, I made bamboo salt for the first time — to save friends dying of cancer. In this polluted world, it will be indispensable for those who are dying.”
— Kim Ilhoon (1909–1992), originator of bamboo salt
Made to save lives. 100 years ago. Still true today.
"Eat bamboo salt diligently, little by little, often — and the day will come when its benefits are fully yours." — Kim Ilhoon (1909–1992), originator of bamboo salt
Consistency is the only method.
"죽염을 많이 먹어 가지고 자기 육신이 완전히 건강할 때에 중심부위에서 어떤 역할을 하게 된다는 게 나아요, 그래서 자기가 자기를 알게 해줘야지. 내가 저 캄캄한 사람 데리고 장 그런다고 이뤄질까? 그래서 단전에 따라. 그건 신비의 세계엔 곡 필요해요. 죽염을 부지런히 먹어라." -인산 김일훈-
“이제는 한 번은 속았으니 두 번 속는 건 미련해서 속는 사람도 있고, 또 곁의 사람한테 꼬임에 속는 사람도 있겠지? 그러나 내 말을 들은 후에 가짜를 꼭 믿을 순 없다고 나는 생각했어. 죽염의 정체를 완전무결하게 파헤치면 그 정체는 참으로 신(神)의 세계요." -인산 김일훈-
I am the only daughter of Kim Il-hoon, the founder of bamboo salt,
and the representative of OCKSUJUNG Bamboo Salt.
My father once said during his lifetime:
“The salt from the west coast comes from the Pacific Ocean, so its resources are inexhaustible.
That is why I use it to save lives in times of crisis.
I know in detail all the secrets within salt, so I say that if the harmful elements are treated with high heat and properly used, it can be beneficial to the human body.
If salt is processed using materials that pollution cannot penetrate—such as bamboo, pine wood, pine resin, yellow earth, and the strength of iron containers—what kind of compounds will emerge?
Even if we can save just one out of ten people dying in this polluted world, that is still saving a life.
We could save them all, but if we spend time cutting, examining, and taking pictures until the moment of death comes, then no matter how good the medicine is, it becomes difficult for it to be effective.
The secrets of bamboo salt are endless. There is nothing I have experimented with that did not work.
If something does not work, it is only because the method was insufficient.”
These are the exact words delivered by my grandfather in a public lecture on August 31, 1989.
Following this spirit,
I have walked this path to find a way to save lives amid the many toxins of the modern world.
This year marks 30 years since that purpose was established,
and we are now at the point where one of the results of this journey is about to be revealed.
I am now seeking individuals who will join me in saving the world.
"암에 들어선 죽염이 없인 안되고 아무리 좋은 약이래도 그래요. 죽염하고 모두 합류해 가지고 쓰는데."
"When it comes to serious illness, nothing works without bamboo salt. No matter how good the medicine is, it must be used together with it."
If we make good use of Pacific seawater, health is guaranteed. Humanity may keep growing, which is good — but in empty times, it could also decline. Then, we follow that time’s law. Today, we must live by today’s law. The issue is, today we cannot use Pacific seawater.
